As long as it has 24 gauge conductors or better, It’d be fine.
Answer #3
Thanks & ! Which brand you want me to buy?
I ask a computer dealer and he have New HDMI-HDMI Cable (Made in China) and selling at Price Rs. 1,000/-. Its not Gold Plated but simple HDMI-HDMI cable.
What you say? Is this cable will work or should I go for branded or Gold Plated cable.
I am first time buying this so want to make sure first which one should I buy.
Answer #4
If it’s nice heavy duty it should be fine as Roberto said.
I think you will find that most cables have gold plated connectors anyhow, the rest of the cable being copper..Anyhow, should be good..
Answer #5
You would be best going for a cable with gold connectors and ensure its a rounded cable (not flat, as it could damage easier) as you will need to route the cable a fair distance

I again checked with dealer and he said that its Gold Plated Cable and he bought same cable in 15feets for his 42″ LED TV and connect his PC. He said that the cable is working fine.
Yes its a Rounded Cable.
I am asking and gathering information to do not waste money.

Answer #10
Yeap, as flawless said, I have a $10 hdmi cable and I see no difference between it and a $99 samsung hdmi cable. The salesman said, the more expensive ones are for viewing 3d pictures/movies..

Thanks buddy. I will buy 30Ft Hdmi – Hdmi Cable Tomorrow and let you inform the result.
Answer #12
Would like to add that the China one or other cheap cable should be fine. However it is also important to know the version. Latest one is 1.4. Version 2 is likely to be released or already released.
Check this for more information.

Thanks I bought 10 Meters HDMI HighSpeed Cable (Made in China) at price Rs. 1,000/- (Gold Plated), check the result on Samsung UA32EH4000R and its awesome, specially in game @ 1920 x 1080p 60Hz.
I don’t know whether its 1.4 or else but Graphics, Video and Sound is awesome.
I noticed many thing in-game graphics which not appear correctly at 1680×1050.
I am thankful to all you guys for your kind help & suggestions.

Yes they are but what can you honestly do to a cable to make it cost 60-80$ more than another one? My best friend bought a 3d 60″ Samsung 2 years ago with a Samsung bluray player and a nice onkyo surround system.. He has a eBay cable and it’s amazing
Answer #16
Yeah, I’m talking high-end. Not Samsung.
Answer #17
2 years ago I bought this brand of HDMI cable and preforms high quality. You can get longer length, this 6 foot is $6.99
it is heavy cable and may be somewhat stiff. But when it is in place, you are not going to move it anyways.
